He stooped down from Heav­en,
Take part with me against this self that dares
Jesus, im­mor­tal King, arise!
With heav’nly glory crowned,
The King of Heav’n—the Prince of Life,
Come, O sun of right­eous­ness, arise!
Lo, God’s Conqu’ror still is conqu’ring;
The ev­er­last­ing fount of good,
Jesus, who passed the an­gels by,
To Thy de­signs He bows His ears,
He flew on wings of strong de­sire,
He flew on wings of strong de­sire,
Declares Him­self our friend;
In mor­tal flesh ar­rayed the Son
Into Thy na­tive skies;
Arrayed in roy­al­ty of woe,

Assume

Laid hold of our na­ture,
How can I call Thee who art al­ways here,
Till earth, sub­dued, its tri­bute brings,
Beset with sorrow round.
He comes to en­ter in­to strife,
Have you giv­en to the nee­dy
Fighting church, on Calv’ry’s hillside
Hallelujah!
And still He makes it His abode,
And well per­forms a work so hard.
Infinite grace! al­migh­ty charms!
Infinite grace! al­migh­ty charms!
That we His Sp’rit may gain;
Not tongues of men, nor an­gels’ songs
And where in ma­ny a fold
Hosanna in the high­est!
